After leaving the teleportation station, Lu Chen was in no hurry to leave the crowd. This group of people, other than a few few people, were all travelling merchants from the wasteland region.
These merchants were no ordinary merchants. They had cultivations in Soul-breaking Stage and would collect the skin and skin of Demonic Beast in the Wasteland Region.
Because they go to two places to do this kind of business all year round, they were very familiar with the situation at Qingzhou.
At that moment, Lu Chen was closely following behind an old man. That old man was also a travelling merchant. On the way, he took care of Lu Chen because he saw that Lu Chen talked quite well.
"Brother Lu, Yunhai City is up ahead."
"Let me tell you in advance, when you enter the city later, you must be very careful and not offend any of the people inside. Otherwise, if you offend any of the people you shouldn't offend, you might even die without knowing how."
"A few months ago, one of us, a businessman, was a kid who didn't know his place and provoked a slightly older kid. In the end, he became a cripple. Not only was he unable to do business, he was even suffering from a fate worse than death."
"Elder Yan, isn't Yuntai City a remote and small city? From your words, it seems like there are a lot of nobles inside? "
Hearing this, Lu Chen was somewhat puzzled and asked with curiosity.
"Hey, little brother, you don't know?"
"Those of us from the wasteland region, whether we are traveling warriors or travelling merchants, we are all inferior in the eyes of these people from the central region."
"Also, recently we heard that a treasure appeared near the Yuntai City, which attracted a lot of great characters from the Qingzhou. So, we must be careful when we enter the city, in case we offend some people that we shouldn't provoke."
With a helpless look on his face, he continued, "With our cultivation, even the leaders of the ancient kingdom would have to treat us with respect. But here, not to mention those important figures, even the soldiers guarding the city would dare to shout at us."
"If it wasn't for this little business, I really wouldn't want to continue being wronged."
"So that's how it is."
Lu Chen's gaze flickered. He was actually a little interested in the first few words that Elder Yan had said. It seemed that a treasure had appeared near the Yuntai City!
If he had the chance, Lu Chen didn't mind taking a look at what it was.
While the two of them were talking, a group of people quickly arrived at the city gate.
There were a large number of soldiers guarding the two rows of the city gate. When they saw Lu Chen and the others, almost all of them simultaneously showed a contemptuous gaze. Some of them went up to the crowd and sneered, "It's you country bumpkins from the wasteland again."
"It seems like I have quite a few things with me. It's still the same old rule for me to enter the city." As he spoke, the leader of the soldiers extended five fingers.
"Master."
"It's only been two months. Why did he add so much?" Seeing the soldier extend five fingers, everyone's expression changed.
"What nonsense is this?"
"The Yuntai City is under martial law now, it's already good enough that you can enter. Everyone, scram before taking out five million soul crystals."
With that, the soldier roughly pushed them down. Although the merchants had higher cultivation bases than the soldiers, none of them dared to say anything.
These soldiers did not have a powerful cultivation, but they represented the will of the Lord of the Yuntai City. Even though this was an extremely remote city, the Lord of a city could be a Major Power Of Life And Death Stage at the very least.
Furthermore, offending a person of this level in the future, let alone continuing to do business, even being able to appear on this piece of land was impossible.
Therefore, even though these soldiers were very aggressive, the do-it-yourself merchants did not want to and did not dare to offend them.
These soul crystals were a huge fortune to them, but if they did not enter Yunhai City to sell their goods and earn a profit, it was equivalent to them coming here for nothing in order to pay for the expenses of the teleportation gate which would cost them more than five million soul crystals.
Furthermore, if one's Yunhai City was a little bit luckier, they might be able to earn some profit.
These soldiers naturally knew about the situation of the travelling merchants, so they held them in a tight grip.
In addition, just paying enough soul crystals was not enough. Before entering the city gates, the soldiers would check the details.
When it was Lu Chen's turn, the soldier frowned and asked in a deep voice, "Are you a peddler?"
It wasn't because he asked, but because there were very few young martial artists among the merchants. Therefore, Lu Chen looked a little strange.
"Reporting to this military lord, he is my friend, a rogue cultivator who has come to gain some experience."
Without waiting for Lu Chen to open his mouth, Elder Yan hurriedly helped him deal with it.
"An itinerant cultivator?" This tall soldier's frown deepened, and he said in a deep voice, "There's a martial law in the city these days, if it wasn't some travelling merchant, it wouldn't be easy to get in."
"If you really want to enter, then I'll charge you ten million soul crystals. If not, then obediently scram!"
"Ten million soul crystals?"
Lu Chen raised his brows. Ten million soul crystals wasn't a lot for him, but for others to charge him five million soul crystal wheels, he would have to pay double that. What kind of logic was this?
"What is it? "Do you have any objections?" The tall soldier's eyes narrowed as a cold light shot out from them.
"Ten million soul crystals is ten million soul crystals."
"Everything is inside. Please take a look, sir."
Seeing that Lu Chen wasn't in a good mood, Elder Yan quickly pulled Lu Chen and handed him the bag with the soul crystals.
"All of you are sensible!"
Staring at Lu Chen, the soldier walked towards the other peddler.
"Brother Lu Chen, let's quickly enter the city." Elder Yan pulled Lu Chen through the city gate. Only when the soldiers behind him could no longer be seen did he heave a sigh of relief and say, "These guys are too greedy."
"They thought that you're still young and that you might have a good background, so they asked you to spend more soul crystals. Just treat it as a waste of money. Don't bother with them."
Hearing this, Lu Chen did not know whether to laugh or cry. This Elder Yan was rather interesting. Although they had only known each other for two or three days, he was very considerate and honest.
"Thank you, Elder Yan."
"I was being reckless just now. Take these soul crystals." Saying that, Lu Chen handed the soul crystal that Elder Yan helped him pay for to him. Who knew that the other side didn't accept it?
Elder Yan waved his hand and said, "Brother Lu, there's no need to be courteous. Since we're so congenial, let's just treat it as the money to buy you a drink."
"Brother, if you really want to thank me, then why don't you help me sell these ingredients for a good price?"
"Don't worry, Brother Lu Chen. As long as you sell it for me, I definitely won't treat you unfairly." Almost all of them were made from rare materials above Soul-breaking Stage. There were even many Demonic Beast s made from Life And Death Stage, such as the horns of some rhinoceros hands, the eyes of the Blue Leopard Demonic Beast, etc.
Lu Chen hadn't met such a honest and honest person in a long time. Lu Chen hadn't met such a honest and honest person in a long time. Lu Chen hadn't met such a honest and honest person.
